Nortel Networks to Build Embedded Switches for IBM BladeCenter

Monday, February 17, 2003    

Nortel Networks intends to build advanced LAN (local area network) switches for the IBM eServer BladeCenter chassis. The embedded LAN switch will consolidate numerous switches, routers and appliances that provide traffic management into a single blade. The IBM eServer BladeCenter is expected to be one of the first modular server platforms to offer an advanced LAN switch in the blade server chassis. The embedded LAN switch is also expected to provide security differentiation to the IBM eServer BladeCenter.
